Planning to make this tomorrow! You may have no understanding of the impact your channel makes but I’m a girl raised by her grandma who was an amazing cook, gardener, wine maker and artist, to say the least. The downside was she was done teaching kids how to cook and I never felt confident Troy try until 44 years old. You have changes mine and my family’s life… good is a way to gather, commune, help and share with others. Thank you for such a beautiful gift. 💜 Blessings to you and your family.

[@crankytang12]

She's done the same for me too! Her channel is simply amazing. This channel was truly my therapy when my grandmother died and I felt her soul as I cooked

[@dnai2337]

❤❤❤

[@pinkhoody]

Getting through this and many weeknight meals with her; totally agree! These videos are essential STAPLES for ordinary meals and holiday spreads alike.

[@danielkaiser8971]

There is something magical about this recipe for me. It makes me think of family coming to the dinner table and enjoying eating together, making memories that will turn to gold.

Yes! 👏🏼🙌🏼

[@bbgirl6741]

Same

[@angiebby1122]

​@SimplyMamaCooks question, please!!!!! My husband hates onions, and I have tomato paste but not tomato chicken bullion, should I replace or add anything instead or just taste as I go? TIA

[@krissanchez4816]

I’ll never understand why you can never find this dish at a restaurant. My mom made this around once a week growing up. One of the best dishes ever.

[@tmstxgrl]

I swear I could smell that wonderful aroma while it was cooking!

[@clairewyndham1971]

50 years ago I lived in a heavily hispanic part of Southwest Detroit. My neighbor across the hall from me was Puerto Rican and she took pity on me and taught me to make soffit. She spoke no English and I spoke no Spanish. But when it comes to doing things from the heart, you have no need for words. From sofrito came Aroz con poillo. With my first try, came peels of laughter as several other neighbors knew this was my first try and again, knowing very little English I had about 6 very good cooks tasting my meal. It was terrible! But, with all the hugs, laughter and them patting my hand..it got better. This dish means so much to me!

[@luciabriseno4065]

Yep,,, This recipe is a HIT in My house 👩‍🍳😋🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩

[@belindadunne4312]

Yum, I like to add Chipotle sometimes for spice. This is indeed comfort food, a true favorite, as you said. 👍🏻😊

[@sarahinojosa-parsons4269]

This is my FAVE comfort food! My family knows when I'm making arroz con pollo, I need TLC. This recipe is THE ONE! Thank you for the memories ❤

[@Cyesloks67]

I'm trying to learn how to cook and I will definitely give this a try, I love the way you teach very detailed.

[@margieshelnutt9006]

I love the way you explain in detail the recipe and what you’re doing and why. I really love that there you don’t use any hokie gimmicks and you don’t babble about NOTHING. You’re show makes it looks easy and it’s classy. Please keep it coming!!!

[@judymushonga7778]

This looks so good. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

[@P245Sig]

I love chicken and rice. Cheapest cuts of chicken you can find at the store, whatever seasoning/flavors you like, and barring absolute intentional malpractice it comes out good.

[@twinpinsbakery2110]

I love that you showed ways to substitute the tomato paste for tomato sauce in a rice recipe. I've never successfully done this because I never considered the tomato chicken bullion. That's what I've been missing! You make your recipes with whatever you have on hand and it's so genuine and authentic to being a real mom cooking dinner for your family. Arroz con pollo is a classic comfort food!

[@rhondaroberts7275]

Looks delish! I took some thighs out that I was going to grill for dinner. Now I will make this! 😊

[@nancyfong3535]

Did the chicken thighs work well for this dish? I’m not a big wings person.

[@bbgirl6741]

Mmmm with thighs gonna be even better hope it turns out amazing for you.

[@ambersamusements5257]

That looks delicious.

[@Cate5013]

Mine turned out perfectly and with it came wonderful memories of my Grandma and her humble and delicious cooking. Thank you.

Mama mia, this looks amazing. Your videos make my mouth water.

[@stacyd1019]

I love this dish, my grandma would put green olives in it when I was growing up, loved that salty bite that you would get!

You can never go wrong with chicken 'n rice! 👍

[@shermanhofacker4428]

I prefer the toasted rice without much seasoning, just a little onion, garlic and saffron. Served with peas and chicken cooked separately. It was one of the first dishes I learned to cook in Spain.

[@xuyizhen00]

Thank you so much for the tutorial. The smell of the dish is truly amazing!

[@HeronCoyote1234]

My late mil was an excellent cook, and often made arroz con pollo (along with chicken fricassee and pernil). Her son, also an excellent cook, makes this dish about once a month (I’m a mediocre cook, but he loves my pernil!). One of our favorite meals.

[@bbgirl6741]

What is Pernil if u don’t mind answering 🤔

😮😮, Can't wait to try your recipe. I don't have wings, (next time) though. Going to use boneless chicken thighs. 😋😋😋😋. TY 🙏🏽🤗

[@tazzyb1785]

This is so relevant for me right now because I just had what I thought was Arroz Con Pollo only to find out that it's been "Southernized" here because it was full of cheese... BUT I LIKED IT😢😢😢 But now want to try the REAL version so thank you ❤ Love all your videos!

[@bbgirl6741]

This is Mexican style chicken n rice the seasonings anyway. No cheese goes in Arroz con pollo That was chicken n rice Americanized 😂 Goes with different sides if has cream of soups in it. Both yummy tho.

[@lauradavis4848]

​@bbgirl6741 I've had chicken n rice my whole life an never saw anyone use cheese in it. Interesting

Fresh pot of pinto beans and mashed potatoes goes great We grew up eating with those two sides Homemade flour tortillas or Corn tortillas either or.

Chips n salsa Guacamole , Chili con queso , fried buttered corn , refried beans Ranch style beans. Cause all the seasoning are Mexican style,
